AOL EmailHi, Wendy. The only way that the 1900 census is going to make sense is if Martha, age 37, was married to KISER first, had Marvin and Sarah, then married John Queen about 1894, and had LeRoy and Ellen. This is also consistent with her having 4 living children by 1900. In 1910, the wife is called Mary, and age 38. But it says they have been married 14 years; also, I can just barely read that she has 7 living children by 1910. That is consistent with the 5 Queen children listed, plus her 2 KISER children. I found Marvin Kiser age 21 single living elsewhere in 1910. So, my conclusion is that Martha in 1900 is the same as Mary in 1910, and the age is wrong in 1910. In 1920, the wife is Rosey E., age 50, so that is definitely a new wife. Maybe those other children that I (and others) have listed for John might be accounted for if we could find him on the 1880 census, but I have not found his 1880 census. He would have been 28 years old then.

Okay family here is the question. John Albert Queen is apparently married three times. First to Martha Jammerson. Second to Mattie Kizer and 3rd to Rose Stanton. However, on the 1900 Federal Census for North Carolina it states he has a son Marvin (Martin?) KIZER living with him and Sarah KIZER and then two children Leroy P(?) Queen and and a daughter whose name I couldn't make out. Then in the 1910 census for High Shoals Township the Kizer children are gone. How come he has Kizer children living with him before marrying their mother. Can someone fill in the gaps for me? Explain the situation. Also, How come I can't find a census record for John A Queen before 1900 in North Carolina? Do we know who his children married? I have Walter P. born April 18 1901 and died April 1975 in Rutherford, NC. I have Clarence M Queen born June 18 1902 and died Feb 1971 in NC. And I have Dwight L. Queen born Aug 10 1909 in NC and died in Nov 1984. Do we have any birth or death dates for the others. I have found some birth dates for Queens with the names of John and Herbert but they were born closer to Dwights birthdates which could ! be correct but then perhaps John Albert was married to Mattie Kizer first and that is why he has Kizer children from her previous marriage living with him in 1900, and he married Martha second and some of their children that are listed first were really born after Clarence and Dwight. I found a Leroy P Queen on the 1900 Census born in Sept 1895 ( think that is correct as it was EXTREMELY hard to read.) Could this be the Roy Queen that some of you have listed in your family trees? What does the P stand for or is the P for Pate and we have two children listed when it is really only one? Can't wait for some feedback. Thanks family Wendy P.
